It’s Water Marble Wednesday! You might remember me mentioning a couple of times that I’m taking part in a weekly nail art challenge on Instagram this month. I’m cheating a little on this one by blogging these nails a bit earlier than the Instagram challenge – these are the nails for next Friday but I needed a good water marble for today!

I’m back with my second post taking part in a weekly nail art challenge on Instagram. This week’s theme was magenta and navy. When I saw that colour combination I just knew I wanted to do something floral. In the end I went with some magenta one-stroke flowers over a navy base:(more…)

Today’s theme in the 12 Days of Christmas nail art challenge is presents. I really enjoyed creating this one and I hope you’ll like it too! These pictures almost didn’t make it to the blog. Something weird happened while I was copying them from my camera and I lost the whole folder. I tried to restore them but I couldn’t and I thought they were lost forever… luckily my boyfriend came to the rescue and he was able to restore them! Now we can all enjoy them 🙂(more…)

I had some trouble deciding what to do for today’s prompt. I’ve done rainbow gradients before, so I wanted to try something different. The first idea I had didn’t work out at all but I am actually glad because I love the result of my next idea:(more…)

We’ve reached the third week of the Nail Art A-Go-Go Challenge hosted by Gnarly Gnails and things are really starting to get tough. I am still completely stuck on a few of this weeks prompts, and I’m running out of time! That is half the fun of doing a challenge like this though – it gives you the opportunity to think of some new nail art ideas and maybe try some new techniques. That’s exactly what I’ve done today – I tried making stamping decals for the first time! I’ve seen so many beautiful stamping decals lately that I knew I had to try it for myself. (more…)

In case you’re wondering why I would do an autumny mani when here in South Africa it’s summer, well, I didn’t plan it that way! I just picked out some colours I thought would go well together and only once I was finished did I realise they were a pretty autumny combination 🙂 So for those of you in the Northern hemisphere – enjoy this as an end-of-autumn water marble!(more…)
